Nick Cave, Warren Ellis - Shattered Ground Lyrics

The moon in the night sky, with pale eyes
And pale skin and long hair covering her naked body
And sometimes she's laughing and sometimes she's crying
And sometimes the moon is talking to nobody
And there's a madness in her and a madness in me
And together it forms a kind of sanity
Oh baby, don't leave me

We drove through the hills with the moon in our eyes
We bought a house in the country
Where we could lose our minds
The moon is a girl with tears in her eyes
Who is throwing her bags in the back of the car
And I am not even remotely surprised

And she's waving goodbye, she's waving goodbye
Well the moon is a girl with sun in her eyes

Oh yeah

Everywhere you are, I am
And everywhere you are, well I will hold your hand again
Only you are beautiful, only you are true
I don't care what they're saying
They can scream their fucking faces blue again
I will be all alone when you are gone
All alone when you're gone
And I will not make a single sound
Not make a single sound
Not make a single sound
But come softly crashing down
Come softly crashing down
Come softly crashing down
My pieces scattered all around
Scattered all around
Scattered all around
Toppled on the shattered ground
On the shattered ground

You're waving goodbye
She is waving goodbye
The moon is a girl with the sun in her eyes
Goodbye
Goodbye
Goodbye
Oh baby
Oh baby
Goodbye
Goodbye
Goodbye
Goodbye
Goodbye
Oh baby
Goodbye
Oh, oh
Goodbye
Goodbye
Oh baby
